I just built a streaming PC in the DarkFlash DLH21 I think it's slightly smaller than this case. I have a nr200 as my primary PC

[@souljastation5463]

It's time for the clones of the Meshlicious. I've waited years for a case like that and now, just a couple of months after the meshlicious went available, there's already the first clone. And something tells me it won't be the last.

[@Rman0712]

Agreed. Especially after that whole H1 debacle, not having to worry about a riser cable is nice.

[@boah-ist65]

I mean, it kinda is a vertical nr200

[@RoasterOven]

I've used two sfx cases with riser cables, only problem I had was with the meshlicious 3.0 riser. all I had to do was unplug the gpu, and connect to motherboard graphics and change bios PCI-E from gen 4 to 3 and it works fine.... The Silverstone sfx cases have gen 4 riser boards Im not sure why people are so scared of riser cables

[@theNerdandtheNurse]

Kyle, I wished you flipped those AIO fans around to test the temps with them exhausting air...

[@Roger_Diz]

I was thinking the same. A lot of those little cases love negative pressure. His cpu temperatures were awesome through the entire test so it seems to me that ejecting all the hot air from the video card should be his top priority.

[@SuperAzzlackstyle]

Yeah, PS, Graphics and AIO are all on intake. It's like he never build a PC before.

[@yuxia5989]

The things is the air is not heated that much by cpu, the cpu is like what, under 100 watt when gaming, the air comes out of the radiator is only somewhat hotter then fresh air, warm for sure, but not hot, but the 3080ti is like 350w+, I have a evga 3080ti ftw3 and it's insanely hot, and it's gonna rise your cpu temperature significantly if your radiator takes in what comes out of the 3080ti

[@distelmarc]

it looks good, i love the industrial look. it does remind me of an apartment building, though, which is kinda cool if you do like a post-apocalyptic theme to it. it looks simple enough to build it, and having a PSU pre-installed from the factory is a major plus, especially since SFX PSUs aren't super common like ATX PSUs. I think they went well above and beyond for making an easy to build in small form factor PC for new people in the market.

[@nocelebrity6042]

20:12: Before weighing the fully-assembled computer, Kyle lifts the case by the handle to check to see if the computer is too heavy for the handle to carry. Good looking case. Great video!

Switch the fans on the AIO to exhaust instead of intake, made a significant difference in the Meshlicious case.

What I like is no riser cable required, almost all SFF cases require a riser cable, and this one does not. That's a huge plus as they fail, not to mention the problem's with pcie 4.0 board/gpu and a pcie 3.0 cable.

You might want to take a look at the new Cooler Master NR200P Max, it comes with a PCIE Gen 4 rissr cable, a higher capacity power supply and a 280 mm AIO with 2 fans.

On look at da cpu why you use the thermal paste why not you use the sweet and sour sauce, why you think the chineesey food hotter than the other food when you order delivery because it handle the hot better than the thermal paste and not onry Dat but after building computer for long time you have snack, so you don't go hungry. It's way coorer when it's hotter.

[@mutasimrahman6833]

I think having the fans as exhaust would benefit GPU temps more. Awesome build btw!

[@inmypaants]

I think running the radiator fans as exhaust would help pull fresh air through the GPU.

[@eveypea]

I agree. I'd love to see if using the AIO fans as exhaust would change the thermals

[@jamesradney5560]

I am not normally a SFF fan, but I got to say I am kinda digging this case! Looks pretty sweet and the handle and headphone hangers build in are a very nice touch!

[@BrianDickens4]

Wow, first time I catch a video moments after it's published :) Watching it right now. Nice way to package a case. :+ By the way, many thanks from over here in the Netherlands -- your videos are much appreciated!

[@MrNineties]

Actually pretty intrigued by this case honestly. Love the aesthetic. The handle and headphone rail are the cherry on top.

[@haroldchristiangravador4187]

This video just convinced me to get this case. So easy to build in, has a prebuilt PSU, small footprint, compatible with large radiators and GPU, and a nice minimalist look. The headphones hanger and the case handle are a very nice bonus. I'm getting the white variant.

[@experiment18a40]

Normally with most sff pc cases you want to encourage negative pressure to help the gpu get the cooler air. I think swapping the radiator fans to exhaust would help alot

[@JohnnyStashh]

try switching the radiator fans to outtakes, im curious to see if it make a cooling differences.

[@LuxTheSlav]

With the amount of mesh, I'd run it in positive pressure. Otherwise, you might as well clean it every week with the amount of dust it'll suck in.

[@munster1404]

I have the radiator fans set to exhaust (the fans are inside the case). Since I live in the tropics, ambient temperature ranges from 28C to 33C. CPU (I7 13700KF) temperatures ranges from 65C to 80C while gaming and GPU (RTX 3080) ranges from 55C to 65C. I can’t run Cinebench in this setup because the CPU will shoot as high as 100C. But since I’m using it as a gaming rig rather than video rendering, 100 degrees is technically impossible to hit during daily usage. Because of the lack of auxiliary cooling options. I’m considering attaching a USB powered 90mm or 120mm fan externally using a magnetic strip. This should push cooler air and feed the AIO radiator fans inside.

[@greenowl.6795]

Looks like an excellent competitor to the Meshilicious. I like the size and looks of the SSUPD one better though.

[@Matt-ux8hh]

It actually looks very similar to the Darkflash DLH21, which is another SFF mini itx case. This one seems to have more features though plus allows for a longer gpu and larger AIO even though they are relatively the same size. However, the DLH21 comes in more colors and has RGB integrated into it. It's also cheaper.

[@DreWhite100]

Awesome case!! I was worried about the thermals when I first saw it, but performed very well. Nice to see

[@Dragoninja833]

I've built too many PC's and never stripped one. Make it snug and you're good.

[@Subdubbin]

Very good-looking case, besides some of the panels appearing to not fit perfectly. Looks like they raised the motherboard I/O up enough where you can fit regular display port cables and not have to use right angle adapters (unlike the Meshlicious.....) Sounds pretty affordable too.

Those mesh panels do catch a LOT of dust to be fair. Why couldn't it be magnetic though instead of screw in?

[@SoulRollerFIN]

I'm willing to bet that it's gonna have like 10 degrees cooler temps if you installed some exhaust fans. Just like the NZXT H1.

[@d0gmaticsoul]

That looks so cool. Very nice job Hyte.

[@SilentRito]

this is actually impressive im going to keep my eye on this one for when i eventually do manage to build my next rig

[@VEN0M415]

I wish more brands would make ITX standing cases, I love my Phanteks shift but I wish they could start a trend of making adjustable exhaust vents for different GPU sizes so the heat wont be trapped or recirculated letting cool air can get in easier without the need to put holes everywhere. also they really need to come with Gen 4 risers as a standard now lol.

[@Sinsanatis]

"Have the radiator fans as intake so the CPU gets fresh, cool air instead of hot GPU air" later... "GPU seems to be runnin a little hot, let's adjust the front panel cover... no, i think we just got a hot GPU runnin in here" That all said, this is definitely a very well designed case, and might be a contender to replace my 5 year old QBX Kaze.

I’ve got the 3070 2x version of that MSI card and it too gets hot. I’ve had to undervolt the card in order to maintain a steady temp at about 72°C. The card is also in an open air case.

[@philthyphil1017]

Agreed

[@sandmann521]

Cool case. Would have liked to see the radiator fans set to exhaust instead of intake. That alone would probably help the with the GPU temps, and there's plenty of headroom in the CPU temps that it would be good to trade some CPU cooling for more GPU cooling.

Gotta love all the quality of life stuff packed into that little boi. Nice job

[@ameerzs1313]

You gonna reduce atleast 5 degree C if you turn the fan to exhaust instead. Intake will only accumulated hot air inside which affected the gpu. Fresh air is irrelevant in aio itx setup since the cpu is cooled enough. Give some space to gpu

[@KanaLogan]

with all of your connections (usb, hdmi, dvi, etc) connecting to the mobo in the "basement" of the case, are there any space concerns for how thick a connecting plug is? For example, is that area deep enough to have a DVI cable plugged in, or is this case truly better for just HDMI? Also, where can you put in a DVD player? Or is that not a thing for this case?

[@doogiehowser1124]

well, i like everything about it except that the rear io of mobo is at the bottom. how do you attach thumb drives, peripherals etc down there?

[@MFLORAX992]

I’ve never thought about this nor ever asked Could u mount 2 fans on ur rad one intake, one exhaust? Or will that just fuck up everything?

[@bobmcbride3550]

This just goes to show my lack of experience, but while this case looks easy to install into I still wonder how you got the motherboard screws installed. Did an install of itx (using ATX case) and just couldn't fit with my stubby fingers. Also back screws were worse. One just behind ram slots with case overhang.

[@anthonyholmes5965]

I like the case. I’m looking to build a new home computer so I’m checking out cases and this is definitely a contender.

[@asallee2]

Should your pump be higher than the radiator intake and outtake. Sorry if I said that wrong

[@TokenaiNamae]

I had the MSI 3080 Ventus 3X OC and was weary about the cooling off the card, so honestly not surprised that the Ti variant of the card wouldn't be so different in terms of cooling. I swapped it out when EVGA contacted me about the queue in a heartbeat and sold the MSI card very cheap to a good friend.

[@leker485]

I think I would have mounted the fans as exhaust, I think the GPU is so toasty because the heat just isn't really going anywhere. CPU thermals would hurt from it a bit, but we wouldn't know how bad until we try it.

[@plasmancer6104]

Along with the handle, now All we need is the headset holder to clip around along with one for mouse and keyboard so you could carry your whole set up at once

[@jpxdude]

I bought prebuilt pc from Ibuypower in 2015 and never really cleaned it either, but I never had an issue with it ever, worked great

[@wickedwonka999]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a bad orientation for the AIO? Shouldn't the hoses be at the top to keep air from traveling to the pump?

[@tictechto]

Kyle, your gpu might be running with silent bios profile, the fan speed rpm is crazy low with that. You might wanna flash that to performance bios.

[@edgarbustos9744]

Definitely felt like those fans could have ramped up more, always had my gpu fan curve ramping up to 100% by 80c

[@antleverso4286]

Im a Fan! Mainly due to the front IO connection having a single plug makes it so much easier

[@keibohow69]

you did not tell us what the room temps were, which is important info. with ac i assume it was around 18 to 20 c. a good test would be to t=run the pc out side or turn off ac.

[@gtidili]

Can you test with the fans as exhaust? It really works well in the CM NR200P MAX.

[@gabiballetje]

Seems like a great case indeed, the only thing is you need to make take care that no air gets trapped in the pump, turn it on and move the case around a bit so the air if it has not already gets moved out of the pump and end up in the radiator, and you're good to go. And that it fits a big GPU and still seems to do nice is pretty nice. And indeed a great LAN-party build with that handle, not that anyone really ever does those things anymore, do they ? But nice for business, or yeah, just playing with a buddy.

[@eveypea]

Moving any possible air out of the pump would be as simple as running for 10mins on its side with the radiator at the top

[@joshuamartin7984]

the motherboard I am looking at has a M.2 on the back could it fit with how small that open back is?

[@jandkwhite6459]

Did you make a fan curve for the gpu?? I'll bet 80% fan speed on it would cool it down

[@WankhasFluxReal]

Hey Kyle, what aio did you use. I plane to make a build with this case and I would like to know what aio size you used.

[@RecycledSkills]

Any issue with the CPU cooler pump being above the in/out ports of rad?

[@xBlade173]

If you do a follow up, or another build, maybe try a ryzen build with the stock cooler to see how the temps are.

[@ChuiBB]

Loving the daily uploads. Keep up the great work

[@TwinBladedAxe]

A few months back I was bored and decided to draw a itx case design mainly layout of components and it was pretty much identical to the layout of this case. The only difference I had with mine was an exhaust fan at the top of the case

[@Nxck4587]

I’m traveling next summer, so I’ll definitely buy this case and do a custom loop

[@ElTeeger]

I wonder if they will give an option for tempered glass front panel

[@gdeeable]

Really nice case/build.

[@H3llb0und]

I would like to see the temps if you set the radiator fans as exhaust, because it looks like the GPU will blow hot air out from the side of the case and it's not in the way of the AIO radiator. Why have 5 intake fans and no exhaust? You have 3x from the GPU, 1x from the PSU and 2x from the AIO = 5 intake fans and zero exhaust fans... why? Just a thought.

What about air cooling that case? Any tests available? :)
